PUMPING-ENGINE. l

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, DALLAS BOUDEMAN,

J r., a citizen of the United States, residing :at Kalamazoo, Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumping-Engines, of which the following is a specification. 4

This invention relates to improvements in pumping engines.

Further objects, and objects relating to structural details, will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification.

The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.

A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which:

Figure I is a perspective view of a structure embodying the features of my invention, the connecting rods being omitted. Fig. II is a detail view, partially in vertical central section, of the structure Vshown in Fig. I in connection with a pump.

In the drawing similar reference numerals refer to similar parts in both views.

Referring to the drawing, l represents a pump of well known type. The engine 2 illustrated is of the two cycle type and as the details of the engine proper form no part of this invention they are not further described herein. Any suitable engine or motor may be used.

The frame or base 3 is adapted for attachment to the floor, it being provided with bolt slots 4. At one end of the base is a pedestal 5 having upwardly projecting arms 6 provided with shaft bearings 7. The upper end of the pedestal is forked to provide these arms. The clamp carrying arm 8 projects laterally from the arms 6 and is provided with an integral clamp member?) and a removable clamp member 10, the removable clamp member being adjustably and removable supported by the bolts 11. These clamp members are adapted to engage the column or body of the pump 1, as is shown in Fig. II. The engine 2 is provided with a base 12 which rests upon and is secured to the main base or frame 3 by the bolts 13. The crank shaft 14 is provided with a worm Specification of Letters Eatent.

. gear 15 disposed between'the arms of the pedestal, the arms being curved outwardly at 16 to receive the worm. i

The driven shaft 18 is `arranged in the bearings 7 transversely above the crank shaft 14. On this driven shaft is a worm gear 19 meshing with the worm 15, the' worm gear 19 being arranged between the arms of the pedestal and supported laterally thereby. On the outer ends of the driven shaft 18 are arms 20 connected to the pump rod 21 by the pitmen or connecting rods 22, the rods being connected tothe crank arms 2O by the wrist pins 23. The arms 2O are provided with a series of wrist pin holes 24 so that the length of the stroke of the pump may be regulated. This driving connection to the pump permits a small power motor being satisfactorily used.

The structure is simple and economical to produce and is very compact and may be quickly applied to the pump in connection with which it is to be used.

I have illustrated and described my improvements in a simple and practical embodiment. I have not attempted to illustrate or describe various modifications which I contemplate as I believe the disclosure made will enable those skilled in the art to which my invention relates to embody or adapt the same as conditions may require. I desire however, to be understood as claiming my improvements specifically in the form illustrated as well as broadly within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention,

what I claim as new and desire to secure byv and projecting between said pedestal arms,

a driven shaft arranged in saidV pedestal bearings transversely above said crank shaft to project beyond said bearings, a worm gear on said driving shaft meshing with said driving worm on 'said crank shaft, and crank arms on the ends of said driven shaft adapted to swing. at the sides of the said driven shaft between said pedestal 4arms pedestaly and the sidesof the pump to Which meshingwvith said driving Worm on Said 151 said crank lis secured. crank. shaft, and driving connections 2.
